Pro-Palestinian students and protestors at The George Washington University in D.C.'s Foggy Bottom created an encampment Thursday morning in support for Gaza and have remained there into Friday morning, defying an order by campus police to move to another area.

Protestors said they plan to keep going. Several students told News4 they were prepared to get arrested in order to stand up for what they believe in. D.C. police were present early Friday morning but have not attempted to clear the encampment, and the site was calm.

News4's Derrick Ward reports.
